Google+ Is Shutting down by August 2019
Due to the security breach that exposed half a million Google users private data, Google Plus is closing down. Google+ launched in 2011 and promised to be decent competition for rivals Facebook and Twitter. In 2015 it started to wind down most of the consumer functions, citing its failure to catch on backed by their reports that most users only stayed on for 5 seconds or less. I love Google+ and so do many of it's other users! We definitely stay on for more than 5 seconds at a time. One thing is the lack of engagement. You can like and share without feeling so much pressure to comment. It has become a favorite for photographers, who have communities and collections of food, historical sites, people, animals, bugs, fish, the Ocean, or whatever else floats your boat! It's so calming to click on my feed there and see all the pics of nature and animal shares posted in the collections and communities I follow. Someone who speaks a different language can post a comment. Then I can click a button to translate, and even respond back that I agree, the cat refusing to let that pizza slice go IS super cute! Not like I have, but I could if I wanted to. So, because a few private user accounts, that supposedly weren't even used, had been laced with a security breach bug, and Google Vice President Ben Smith says there is a 'low usage' of the social network, it's time for us to say 'Good-Bye Google Plus'?

Who's Listening
The entertainment industry is scrambling for money. Commercial cinemas are competing head to head with home audio systems. Yes, there are forum posts with actual cost benefit of buying a home theater system vs going to the movie theater. The music industry is scratching for every cent they can make by cross advertising product and pushing social celebrity status. Couple all of this with every kind of person alive trying to hit it big on every kind of reality show and social media outlet available, we are faced with a hard economic fact: popularity pays and it has never been harder to be popular.

How Net Neutrality Affects Small Business Owners
One of the most unpopular pieces of legislation to have hit the US government was the repeal of net neutrality rules. The legislation, which was backed by FCC chair Ajit Pai along with the Republican party, basically repealed protections that keep internet traffic neutral.

How the End of Net Neutrality Will Change the Internet
Mostly stringent upon the financial and monopolistic areas of the internet, net neutrality’s downfall deals primarily with the way internet service providers (ISPs) will be granting access, most likely with higher payment costs. What you need to know about net neutrality, as an individual idea, is that it stands for a cross-internet equality based system making ISPs treat any and all digital content without added privileges or specific surcharges. All of this will no sooner be changed thanks to a December vote made by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which moved to repeal all access provisions granted by ISPs.
